Salon-Boy
Salon-boy(s) represents the style enjoyed by hairdressers in the making and students of beauty colleges located around the Uraharajuku area. The fashion coordinate itself is on the stylish “kireime casual” (refined yet casual) freely mixing sport, casual to high brand clothes with the base of secondhand clothing solely by their own fashion sense. More decorative than other styles and many times loose as well. This style is believed to have derived from the so-called Urahara(juku)-kei which share common elements but covers a wider selection of styles.

The immense popularity of salon-boy among the younger half of the fashion generations (teenagers) is even being featured on women’s fashion magazines as the hottest and most fashionable guys today, and is said to have huge influence to the mass (kireime).
